A post praising Kyi Linn — the man now in custody for the murder of the widely respected Muslim lawyer U Ko Ni — has gained over 18,000 shares and over 36,000 reactions on Facebook since being posted at around 10:30pm on Sunday night.
The post includes a photo of Kyi Linn shortly after his arrest. In the caption accompanying the original post, Tin Ko Latt writes:
For the whole country, he didn't care about his life; he killed the scoundrel Nga Ni. Let's honor Kyi Linn from Mandalay, the man who did heroic work by himself. Fee free to disagree. Tin Ko Latt.
According to Rohingya Blogger and activist Ro Nay San Lwin, "Nga Ni" is a disrespectful distortion of U Ko Ni's name. (Courtesy of yangon.coconuts.co)

Slain Myanmar lawyer’s family considers him a fallen hero
The family of an assassinated adviser to Myanmar’s government had worried about his activities and warned him to be careful, but he pursued his work for the sake of the country’s people, regardless of who they were or what religion they believed, his daughter said Tuesday.
Ko Ni, a prominent Muslim lawyer who advised Aung San Suu Kyi and her ruling National League for Democracy party, was shot in the head at close range as he was walking out of the Yangon airport Sunday.
His family feels no regret for his high-profile political work and considers him a fallen hero, his daughter, medical doctor Yin Nwe Khine, told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview. “We were always worried about him and the danger he might face because of politics,” she said.
